There are two things I don't care how smart you are, you will never understand. One is an alienist's testimony, and the other is a railroad timetable.
Will Rogers

I am a great believer in high-priced people. If a thing cost a lot it may not be any better, but it adds a certain amount of class that the cheap thing can never approach in the long run it's the higher-priced things that are the cheapest.

A politician is not as narrow-minded as he forces himself to be.
Will Rogers
Image
Congress is deadlocked and can’t act.
Will Rogers
Image
A lot of guys have had a lot of fun joking about Henry Ford because he admitted one time that he didn't know history. He don't know it, but history will know him. He has made more history than his critics ever read.

The movies are the only business where you can go out front and applaud yourself.
Will Rogers
Image
The sales tax is the best and most equitable tax. The gasoline tax, which is nothing but a sales tax, has proven painless, productive and punitive. Everything we buy should have its equal proportion of tax, outside of cheap food and cheap clothes.
Will Rogers

Old Hollywood is just like a desert water in Africa. Hang around long enough and every kind of animal in the world will drift in for refreshments.

Wall Street is being investigated, but they are not asleep while it's being done. You see where the Senate took that tax off the sales of stocks, didn't you? Saved 'em $48,000,000. Now, why don't somebody investigate the Senate and see who got to them to get that tax removed? That would be a real investigation.

I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.
Will Rogers
Image
We don't seem to be able to check crime, so why not legalize it and then tax it out of business?
Will Rogers
Image
Show me a healthy community with a healthy economy and I will show you a community that has its green infrastructure in order and understands the relationship between the built and the unbuilt environment.

Horses raise what the farmer eats and eats what the farmer raises. You can't plow the ground and get gasoline.

There is nothing that sets a nation back as far in civilization as prosperity.
